In this age of terror, there might be nothing more terrifying than the thought of an attack carried out with chemical weapons. We’ve all heard the horrific stories of soldiers being gassed in WWI, and the idea that it could happen in the here and now is blood-chilling.
Perhaps scariest of all is that this isn’t just a possibility. There are chemical attacks happening in the present day, just as there have been across history. And while you’d probably assume you’d hear about a devastating gas attack, we’re willing to bet you’re unfamiliar with more than one of these.

Hosted by Benari Poulten, a Master Sergeant in the U.S. ArmyReserve and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In this episode, we reveal five intriguing facts about WMDs.
With the ability to create destruction on a massive scale, they are some of the most feared weapons in the world.
This is Five ThingsYou Don’t Know About WMDs.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale.

In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact Two: During the height of the arms race, the United States had more than 31,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. And with that many warheads, it’s almost inevitable that a few accidents, on in this case a few losses, would occur.
One unfortunate mishap took place in 1965 onboard the carrier USS Ticonderoga. On December 10th of that year, an A-4E Skyhawk carrying a B-43 hydrogen bomb was preparing for takeoff when the aircraft suddenly rolled off the flight deck and plunged into the ocean. Not only was the pilot killed, but the aircraft and the nuclear bomb immediately sank some 16,400 feet to the bottom of the ocean, where they remain to this day.
And while these incidents such as this may seem extreme, it is actually just one example of the 11 known nuclear weapons that the United States has accidently lost and never recovered.
Fact Three: During the First World War the introduction of modern chemical weapons, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was devastating. In fact, more than 25% of total US casualties suffered during the war were caused by poison gasses alone. So, when World War II erupted, all of the major combatants, except for Japan, opted to refrain from using chemical weapons on the battlefield.
However, when it came time to invade Iwo Jima, military planners recognized just how brutal and costly the battle was going to be. And in an effort to curtail the projected losses, they actually proposed saturating the island with mustard gas.
Of course, in the end this proposal was ultimately rejected by President Franklin Roosevelt, and a large-scale amphibious assault was conducted instead.
Fact Four: Classified as a Category A agent by the CDC, anthrax was first employed as a deliberate weapon during World War One, when the German military was suspected of secretly using the bacteria to infect livestock intended for trade with allied nations.
During World War II, the continued development of bioweapons such as anthrax spurred the creation of the United States Biological Weapons program. Established in the spring of 1943 under direct orders from President Franklin Roosevelt, the highly-classified program was a response to fears that the US lagged behind Nazi Germany in the creation of bioweapons.
Although none were ever deployed during the war, it is now know that the United States created more than 5,000 anthrax-filled bombs, and had them ready to go in preparation for a retaliatory strike against Germany.
Fact Five: America’s chemical weapons program began in 1917, during the latter part of World War I. And from then until 1968, the US produced nearly 40,000 tons of chemical weapons.
By the mid -1960s, however, public opposition to these types of weapons had caused the nation to start taking steps to reduce its stockpile.
So, between 1967 and 1970, as part of Operation CHASE – which stood for “cut holes and sink’em” – the US Department of Defense disposed of thousands of chemical weapons by loading them onto World War II era Liberty Ships and sinking them in the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. This included weapons such as mustard gas, VX nerve agent, and sarin-filled rockets.

International leaders have issued a strong warning to the Assad regime over the potential use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
The Syrian opposition recently provided instructions to residents anticipating that the regime would use chemical substances such as nerve or incendiary gases which are life threatening.
These gases are in a liquid state in the first stage and their characteristics resemble water or oil, which can be wiped or rinsed off with water, soap or sterilizers.
The liquid may evaporate into gas causing a greater risk to a person.
Actions required when a person is exposed to these gases:
FirstHold your breath as long as possible in order to escape to a place with fresh air.
Place a clean cloth covering the mouth and nose.
SecondNerve gases are heavier than air, therefore, it is recommended to ascend to the highest floor of a building. However, in case the chemicals were outside the building, all windows and doors should be shut immediately.
Third
Remove your clothes and wash your skin with soap and water or wipe with a piece of clean cloth.
Fourth
In case of eye irritation, wash them immediately with drinking water for no less than 15 minutes.
Fifth
It is highly recommended to wear gloves when helping an affected person.
SixthChemical substances are either odorless, or smell like garlic or pickled radish.
It is recommended to escape areas containing these odors to avoid exposure.
Symptoms and signs of chemical exposure are choking, coughing, blurred vision, faint and chills.

Not all wars are fought with bombs and bullets. As the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons rises, NATO has stepped up its efforts in providing specialised training to partner countries who are most at threat.
Under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, a selection of first responders and biological, chemical and nuclear specialists from NATO’s southern partner countries Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have undergone specialised training at the JointCBRNDefenceCentre of Excellence in Vyskov, Czech Republic.
The participants received training in preparing to respond to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threat, learning advanced detection and decontamination methods.
At the end of the training, the participants were equipped with enough knowledge to enable them to train first responders in their own countries.

This week Reactions takes a look into chemical warfare. There's a lot of science behind chemical weapons. April 22, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in modern warfare. Some of the best minds in chemistry at that time, including a Nobel Prize winner, used their knowledge of science to build humanity’s new weapons of mass destruction. This week, we take a sobering look at the chemistry behind the modern world’s first chemical weapons.

The ancient world was also full of examples of David vs. Goliath battles. One of the bestRoman examples comes from the year 69 B.C. and the Battle of Tigranocerta. Historical estimates vary, but the Roman general, Lucullus, had around 40,000 troops in his engagement versus the ArmenianKing, Tigranes, who fielded about 400,000 troops.
The reason for this war against Armenia was the usual Roman mixture of bringing civilization to the barbarian hordes, a hunt for fortune and glory, as well as punishment for harboring Rome’s enemies. The city of Tigranocerta was still in the midst of being built when the Romans marched up knocking on the door. Lucullus brought his legions to the city and attempted to siege it. The city though unfinished was still heavily fortified, with walls that supposedly towered 25 meters high. Despite the use of siege weapons, the Romans were rebuffed by the city defenders who’s use of naphtha is one of the earliest forms of chemical warfare in history.
Meanwhile, King Tigranes who for the longest time could not believe that Lucullus was actually in Armenia, let alone sieging his newest city, marshaled a huge force to march on Tigranocerta and relieve the siege. The Romans saw the approaching hoard of death and leaving only a small force to maintain the cities siege, pulled back to a defensive position across the Batman-Su River. Lucullus feigned a retreat with a portion of his forces, but in a stroke of brilliance or insanity (depending on who you ask), personally led the Roman charge on the Armenian position atop a hill. His heavily trained infantry broke the Armenian cavalry and sowed chaos and confusion amongst their barely trained peasant infantry.
Having had their strongest point broken by Lucullus’s charge up the hill, the rest of the Armenian forces scattered and attempted to flee the battlefield. The Romans however were not in a mood to take prisoners or let their enemy escape. They outflanked the retreating Armenians and put them to the sword. While Roman accounts of only losing five men is completely unrealistic, one thing is for sure, the amount of losses both sides sustained was utterly disproportionate. Estimates for losses on the Armenian side vary from 10,000 to 100,000 men.
With King Tigranes in the wind and hiding from the Roman forces, the city of Tigranocerta opened its gates to its conquerors. Lucullus’ army began looting the city, and it was literally taken apart piece by piece.

OK, so this one is up for debate, but we've put together a list of the top five worst weapons that are still in regular legal use, today. From downright nasty technology to devastating to local civilians, many of these weapons are in the process of being banned, or have had campaigns launched to outlaw them. Disagree? Let us know if there's something you think should be on the list. There's a couple of things we didn't include -- The first is chemical weapons, because *most* countries have now banned them and they are only very rarely used, and the second is 'dum dum' or hollow/soft point bullets. These particularly horrendous rounds open up and expand on impact, causing massive internal injuries and making removing the bullet very difficult to remove. Whilst police and civilians in some countries still use them, they are outlawed in warfare.

There have been plenty of nasty weapons throughout the history of mankind, but what is it that makes some weapons too inhumane to be used in war?

Lethal, unitary, chemical agents and munitions are extremely volatile and they constitute a class of hazardous chemical weapons that are now being stockpiled by many nations. (Unitary agents are effective on their own and require no mixing with other agents.) The most dangerous of these are nerve agentsGA, GB, GD, and VX, and vesicant (blister) agents which are formulations of sulfur mustard such as H, HT, and HD. All are liquids at normal room temperature, but become gaseous when released. Widely used during the First World War, the effects of so-called mustard gas, phosgene gas and others caused lung searing, blindness, death and maiming.

Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar (sucrose). However, in practice, no substance is entirely pure, and chemical purity is specified according to the intended use of the chemical.

Weapon

A weapon, arm, or armament is any device used with intent to inflict damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as crime, law enforcement, self-defense, and warfare. In a broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary.

History

Prehistoric

The use of objects as weapons has been observed among chimpanzees, leading to speculation that early hominids first began to use weapons as early as five million years ago. However, this can not be confirmed using physical evidence because wooden clubs, spears, and unshaped stones would not have left an unambiguous record. The earliest unambiguous weapons to be found are the Schöninger Speere: eight wooden throwing spears dated as being more than 300,000 years old. At the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, numerous human skeletons dating to 10,000 years ago have major traumatic injuries to the head, neck, ribs, knees and hands, including obsidian projectiles still embedded in the bones, that would have been caused by arrows and clubs in the context of conflict between two hunter-gatherer groups.

Chemical warfare

Chemical warfare (CW) involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and biological warfare, which together make up NBC, the military acronym for nuclear, biological, and chemical (warfare or weapons), all of which are considered "weapons of mass destruction" (WMDs). None of these fall under the term conventional weapons which are primarily effective due to their destructive potential. With proper protective equipment, training, and decontamination measures, the primary effects of chemical weapons can be overcome. Many nations possess vast stockpiles of weaponized agents in preparation for wartime use. The threat and the perceived threat have become strategic tools in planning both measures and counter-measures.

In this age of terror, there might be nothing more terrifying than the thought of an attack carried out with chemical weapons. We’ve all heard the horrific stories of soldiers being gassed in WWI, and the idea that it could happen in the here and now is blood-chilling.
Perhaps scariest of all is that this isn’t just a possibility. There are chemical attacks happening in the present day, just as there have been across history. And while you’d probably assume you’d hear about a devastating gas attack, we’re willing to bet you’re unfamiliar with more than one of these.

5 Things You Don’t Know: Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)

Hosted by Benari Poulten, a Master Sergeant in the U.S. ArmyReserve and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In this episode, we reveal five intriguing facts about WMDs.
With the ability to create destruction on a massive scale, they are some of the most feared weapons in the world.
This is Five ThingsYou Don’t Know About WMDs.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact Two: During the height of the arms race, the United States had more than 31,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. And with that many warheads, it’s almost inevitable that a few accidents, on in this case a few losses, would occur.
One unfortunate mishap took place in 1965 onboard the carrier USS Ticonderoga. On December 10th of that year, an A-4E Skyhawk carrying a B-43 hydrogen bomb was preparing for takeoff when the aircraft suddenly rolled off the flight deck and plunged into the ocean. Not only was the pilot killed, but the aircraft and the nuclear bomb immediately sank some 16,400 feet to the bottom of the ocean, where they remain to this day.
And while these incidents such as this may seem extreme, it is actually just one example of the 11 known nuclear weapons that the United States has accidently lost and never recovered.
Fact Three: During the First World War the introduction of modern chemical weapons, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was devastating. In fact, more than 25% of total US casualties suffered during the war were caused by poison gasses alone. So, when World War II erupted, all of the major combatants, except for Japan, opted to refrain from using chemical weapons on the battlefield.
However, when it came time to invade Iwo Jima, military planners recognized just how brutal and costly the battle was going to be. And in an effort to curtail the projected losses, they actually proposed saturating the island with mustard gas.
Of course, in the end this proposal was ultimately rejected by President Franklin Roosevelt, and a large-scale amphibious assault was conducted instead.
Fact Four: Classified as a Category A agent by the CDC, anthrax was first employed as a deliberate weapon during World War One, when the German military was suspected of secretly using the bacteria to infect livestock intended for trade with allied nations.
During World War II, the continued development of bioweapons such as anthrax spurred the creation of the United States Biological Weapons program. Established in the spring of 1943 under direct orders from President Franklin Roosevelt, the highly-classified program was a response to fears that the US lagged behind Nazi Germany in the creation of bioweapons.
Although none were ever deployed during the war, it is now know that the United States created more than 5,000 anthrax-filled bombs, and had them ready to go in preparation for a retaliatory strike against Germany.
Fact Five: America’s chemical weapons program began in 1917, during the latter part of World War I. And from then until 1968, the US produced nearly 40,000 tons of chemical weapons.
By the mid -1960s, however, public opposition to these types of weapons had caused the nation to start taking steps to reduce its stockpile.
So, between 1967 and 1970, as part of Operation CHASE – which stood for “cut holes and sink’em” – the US Department of Defense disposed of thousands of chemical weapons by loading them onto World War II era Liberty Ships and sinking them in the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. This included weapons such as mustard gas, VX nerve agent, and sarin-filled rockets.

International leaders have issued a strong warning to the Assad regime over the potential use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
The Syrian opposition recently provided instructions to residents anticipating that the regime would use chemical substances such as nerve or incendiary gases which are life threatening.
These gases are in a liquid state in the first stage and their characteristics resemble water or oil, which can be wiped or rinsed off with water, soap or sterilizers.
The liquid may evaporate into gas causing a greater risk to a person.
Actions required when a person is exposed to these gases:
FirstHold your breath as long as possible in order to escape to a place with fresh air.
Place a clean cloth covering the mouth and nose.
SecondNerve gases are heavier than air, therefore, it is recommended to ascend to the highest floor of a building. However, in case the chemicals were outside the building, all windows and doors should be shut immediately.
Third
Remove your clothes and wash your skin with soap and water or wipe with a piece of clean cloth.
Fourth
In case of eye irritation, wash them immediately with drinking water for no less than 15 minutes.
Fifth
It is highly recommended to wear gloves when helping an affected person.
SixthChemical substances are either odorless, or smell like garlic or pickled radish.
It is recommended to escape areas containing these odors to avoid exposure.
Symptoms and signs of chemical exposure are choking, coughing, blurred vision, faint and chills.

Preparing to deal with the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons

Not all wars are fought with bombs and bullets. As the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons rises, NATO has stepped up its efforts in providing specialised training to partner countries who are most at threat.
Under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, a selection of first responders and biological, chemical and nuclear specialists from NATO’s southern partner countries Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have undergone specialised training at the JointCBRNDefenceCentre of Excellence in Vyskov, Czech Republic.
The participants received training in preparing to respond to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threat, learning advanced detection and decontamination methods.
At the end of the training, the participants were equipped with enough knowledge to enable them to train first responders in their own countries.

The Dawn of Chemical Warfare

The Dawn of Chemical Warfare

The Dawn of Chemical Warfare

This week Reactions takes a look into chemical warfare. There's a lot of science behind chemical weapons. April 22, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in modern warfare. Some of the best minds in chemistry at that time, including a Nobel Prize winner, used their knowledge of science to build humanity’s new weapons of mass destruction. This week, we take a sobering look at the chemistry behind the modern world’s first chemical weapons.

The ancient world was also full of examples of David vs. Goliath battles. One of the bestRoman examples comes from the year 69 B.C. and the Battle of Tigranocerta. Historical estimates vary, but the Roman general, Lucullus, had around 40,000 troops in his engagement versus the ArmenianKing, Tigranes, who fielded about 400,000 troops.
The reason for this war against Armenia was the usual Roman mixture of bringing civilization to the barbarian hordes, a hunt for fortune and glory, as well as punishment for harboring Rome’s enemies. The city of Tigranocerta was still in the midst of being built when the Romans marched up knocking on the door. Lucullus brought his legions to the city and attempted to siege it. The city though unfinished was still heavily fortified, with walls that supposedly towered 25 meters high. Despite the use of siege weapons, the Romans were rebuffed by the city defenders who’s use of naphtha is one of the earliest forms of chemical warfare in history.
Meanwhile, King Tigranes who for the longest time could not believe that Lucullus was actually in Armenia, let alone sieging his newest city, marshaled a huge force to march on Tigranocerta and relieve the siege. The Romans saw the approaching hoard of death and leaving only a small force to maintain the cities siege, pulled back to a defensive position across the Batman-Su River. Lucullus feigned a retreat with a portion of his forces, but in a stroke of brilliance or insanity (depending on who you ask), personally led the Roman charge on the Armenian position atop a hill. His heavily trained infantry broke the Armenian cavalry and sowed chaos and confusion amongst their barely trained peasant infantry.
Having had their strongest point broken by Lucullus’s charge up the hill, the rest of the Armenian forces scattered and attempted to flee the battlefield. The Romans however were not in a mood to take prisoners or let their enemy escape. They outflanked the retreating Armenians and put them to the sword. While Roman accounts of only losing five men is completely unrealistic, one thing is for sure, the amount of losses both sides sustained was utterly disproportionate. Estimates for losses on the Armenian side vary from 10,000 to 100,000 men.
With King Tigranes in the wind and hiding from the Roman forces, the city of Tigranocerta opened its gates to its conquerors. Lucullus’ army began looting the city, and it was literally taken apart piece by piece.

The Five Worst Weapons Still in Use - Truthloader

The Five Worst Weapons Still in Use - Truthloader

The Five Worst Weapons Still in Use - Truthloader

OK, so this one is up for debate, but we've put together a list of the top five worst weapons that are still in regular legal use, today. From downright nasty technology to devastating to local civilians, many of these weapons are in the process of being banned, or have had campaigns launched to outlaw them. Disagree? Let us know if there's something you think should be on the list. There's a couple of things we didn't include -- The first is chemical weapons, because *most* countries have now banned them and they are only very rarely used, and the second is 'dum dum' or hollow/soft point bullets. These particularly horrendous rounds open up and expand on impact, causing massive internal injuries and making removing the bullet very difficult to remove. Whilst police and civilians in some countries still use them, they are outlawed in warfare.

Non-lethal weapons are what you get when the ideas of “not-killing” and “wanting to shoot people in the face” get into yet another screaming match and end up totally doing it on the kitchen counter. The following morning, no words are said and eye contact is avoided, but out of such a hateful union eventually comes the miracle of life, in the form of weaponry that harms and maims but stops very short of actually killing.

Preparing to deal with the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons

Not all wars are fought with bombs and bullets. As the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons rises, NATO has stepped up its efforts in providing specialised training to partner countries who are most at threat.
Under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, a selection of first responders and biological, chemical and nuclear specialists from NATO’s southern partner countries Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have undergone specialised training at the JointCBRNDefenceCentre of Excellence in Vyskov, Czech Republic.
The participants received training in preparing to respond to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threat, learning advanced detection and decontamination methods.
At the end of the training, the participants were equipped with enough...

The Dawn of Chemical Warfare

This week Reactions takes a look into chemical warfare. There's a lot of science behind chemical weapons. April 22, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in modern warfare. Some of the best minds in chemistry at that time, including a Nobel Prize winner, used their knowledge of science to build humanity’s new weapons of mass destruction. This week, we take a sobering look at the chemistry behind the modern world’s first chemical weapons.

What Weapons Are Illegal In War?

Share on Facebook: http://testu.be/1uEn2Oj
In war, some weapons are so dangerous that many countries are committed to banning them altogether. Yet these very weapons continue to be used in conflicts today, despite various treaties that prohibit them. So what weapons are illegal in war? And will these laws actually be upheld?

The Five Worst Weapons Still in Use - Truthloader

OK, so this one is up for debate, but we've put together a list of the top five worst weapons that are still in regular legal use, today. From downright nasty technology to devastating to local civilians, many of these weapons are in the process of being banned, or have had campaigns launched to outlaw them. Disagree? Let us know if there's something you think should be on the list. There's a couple of things we didn't include -- The first is chemical weapons, because *most* countries have now banned them and they are only very rarely used, and the second is 'dum dum' or hollow/soft point bullets. These particularly horrendous rounds open up and expand on impact, causing massive internal injuries and making removing the bullet very difficult to remove. Whilst police and civilians in some c...

Top 10 NON-LETHAL Weapons

Non-lethal weapons are what you get when the ideas of “not-killing” and “wanting to shoot people in the face” get into yet another screaming match and end up totally doing it on the kitchen counter. The following morning, no words are said and eye contact is avoided, but out of such a hateful union eventually comes the miracle of life, in the form of weaponry that harms and maims but stops very short of actually killing.

In this age of terror, there might be nothing more terrifying than the thought of an attack carried out with chemical weapons. We’ve all heard the horrific stories of soldiers being gassed in WWI, and the idea that it could happen in the here and now is blood-chilling.
Perhaps scariest of all is that this isn’t just a possibility. There are chemical attacks happening in the present day, just as there have been across history. And while you’d probably assume you’d hear about a devastating gas attack, we’re willing to bet you’re unfamiliar with more than one of these.

Hosted by Benari Poulten, a Master Sergeant in the U.S. ArmyReserve and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In this episode, we reveal five intriguing facts about WMDs.
With the ability to create destruction on a massive scale, they are some of the most feared weapons in the world.
This is Five ThingsYou Don’t Know About WMDs.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact Two: During the height of the arms race, the United States had more than 31,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. And with that many warheads, it’s almost inevitable that a few accidents, on in this case a few losses, would occur.
One unfortunate mishap took place in 1965 onboard the carrier USS Ticonderoga. On December 10th of that year, an A-4E Skyhawk carrying a B-43 hydrogen bomb was preparing for takeoff when the aircraft suddenly rolled off the flight deck and plunged into the ocean. Not only was the pilot killed, but the aircraft and the nuclear bomb immediately sank some 16,400 feet to the bottom of the ocean, where they remain to this day.
And while these incidents such as this may seem extreme, it is actually just one example of the 11 known nuclear weapons that the United States has accidently lost and never recovered.
Fact Three: During the First World War the introduction of modern chemical weapons, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was devastating. In fact, more than 25% of total US casualties suffered during the war were caused by poison gasses alone. So, when World War II erupted, all of the major combatants, except for Japan, opted to refrain from using chemical weapons on the battlefield.
However, when it came time to invade Iwo Jima, military planners recognized just how brutal and costly the battle was going to be. And in an effort to curtail the projected losses, they actually proposed saturating the island with mustard gas.
Of course, in the end this proposal was ultimately rejected by President Franklin Roosevelt, and a large-scale amphibious assault was conducted instead.
Fact Four: Classified as a Category A agent by the CDC, anthrax was first employed as a deliberate weapon during World War One, when the German military was suspected of secretly using the bacteria to infect livestock intended for trade with allied nations.
During World War II, the continued development of bioweapons such as anthrax spurred the creation of the United States Biological Weapons program. Established in the spring of 1943 under direct orders from President Franklin Roosevelt, the highly-classified program was a response to fears that the US lagged behind Nazi Germany in the creation of bioweapons.
Although none were ever deployed during the war, it is now know that the United States created more than 5,000 anthrax-filled bombs, and had them ready to go in preparation for a retaliatory strike against Germany.
Fact Five: America’s chemical weapons program began in 1917, during the latter part of World War I. And from then until 1968, the US produced nearly 40,000 tons of chemical weapons.
By the mid -1960s, however, public opposition to these types of weapons had caused the nation to start taking steps to reduce its stockpile.
So, between 1967 and 1970, as part of Operation CHASE – which stood for “cut holes and sink’em” – the US Department of Defense disposed of thousands of chemical weapons by loading them onto World War II era Liberty Ships and sinking them in the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. This included weapons such as mustard gas, VX nerve agent, and sarin-filled rockets.

International leaders have issued a strong warning to the Assad regime over the potential use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
The Syrian opposition recently provided instructions to residents anticipating that the regime would use chemical substances such as nerve or incendiary gases which are life threatening.
These gases are in a liquid state in the first stage and their characteristics resemble water or oil, which can be wiped or rinsed off with water, soap or sterilizers.
The liquid may evaporate into gas causing a greater risk to a person.
Actions required when a person is exposed to these gases:
FirstHold your breath as long as possible in order to escape to a place with fresh air.
Place a clean cloth covering the mouth and nose.
SecondNerve gases are heavier than air, therefore, it is recommended to ascend to the highest floor of a building. However, in case the chemicals were outside the building, all windows and doors should be shut immediately.
Third
Remove your clothes and wash your skin with soap and water or wipe with a piece of clean cloth.
Fourth
In case of eye irritation, wash them immediately with drinking water for no less than 15 minutes.
Fifth
It is highly recommended to wear gloves when helping an affected person.
SixthChemical substances are either odorless, or smell like garlic or pickled radish.
It is recommended to escape areas containing these odors to avoid exposure.
Symptoms and signs of chemical exposure are choking, coughing, blurred vision, faint and chills.

The BlueGrassChemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) team will use sophisticated systems, automated robots and tested procedures to safely dismantle and destroy chemical weapons near Richmond, Kentucky. The munitions, which include both rockets and projectiles, contain nerve or mustard agent and have been safely stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot for decades.
Watch this video for a step-by-step guide on how the main plant will use neutralization followed by supercritical water oxidation to break down the chemical agent.

Not all wars are fought with bombs and bullets. As the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons rises, NATO has stepped up its efforts in providing specialised training to partner countries who are most at threat.
Under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, a selection of first responders and biological, chemical and nuclear specialists from NATO’s southern partner countries Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have undergone specialised training at the JointCBRNDefenceCentre of Excellence in Vyskov, Czech Republic.
The participants received training in preparing to respond to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threat, learning advanced detection and decontamination methods.
At the end of the training, the participants were equipped with enough knowledge to enable them to train first responders in their own countries.

This week Reactions takes a look into chemical warfare. There's a lot of science behind chemical weapons. April 22, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in modern warfare. Some of the best minds in chemistry at that time, including a Nobel Prize winner, used their knowledge of science to build humanity’s new weapons of mass destruction. This week, we take a sobering look at the chemistry behind the modern world’s first chemical weapons.

The ancient world was also full of examples of David vs. Goliath battles. One of the bestRoman examples comes from the year 69 B.C. and the Battle of Tigranocerta. Historical estimates vary, but the Roman general, Lucullus, had around 40,000 troops in his engagement versus the ArmenianKing, Tigranes, who fielded about 400,000 troops.
The reason for this war against Armenia was the usual Roman mixture of bringing civilization to the barbarian hordes, a hunt for fortune and glory, as well as punishment for harboring Rome’s enemies. The city of Tigranocerta was still in the midst of being built when the Romans marched up knocking on the door. Lucullus brought his legions to the city and attempted to siege it. The city though unfinished was still heavily fortified, with walls that supposedly towered 25 meters high. Despite the use of siege weapons, the Romans were rebuffed by the city defenders who’s use of naphtha is one of the earliest forms of chemical warfare in history.
Meanwhile, King Tigranes who for the longest time could not believe that Lucullus was actually in Armenia, let alone sieging his newest city, marshaled a huge force to march on Tigranocerta and relieve the siege. The Romans saw the approaching hoard of death and leaving only a small force to maintain the cities siege, pulled back to a defensive position across the Batman-Su River. Lucullus feigned a retreat with a portion of his forces, but in a stroke of brilliance or insanity (depending on who you ask), personally led the Roman charge on the Armenian position atop a hill. His heavily trained infantry broke the Armenian cavalry and sowed chaos and confusion amongst their barely trained peasant infantry.
Having had their strongest point broken by Lucullus’s charge up the hill, the rest of the Armenian forces scattered and attempted to flee the battlefield. The Romans however were not in a mood to take prisoners or let their enemy escape. They outflanked the retreating Armenians and put them to the sword. While Roman accounts of only losing five men is completely unrealistic, one thing is for sure, the amount of losses both sides sustained was utterly disproportionate. Estimates for losses on the Armenian side vary from 10,000 to 100,000 men.
With King Tigranes in the wind and hiding from the Roman forces, the city of Tigranocerta opened its gates to its conquerors. Lucullus’ army began looting the city, and it was literally taken apart piece by piece.

OK, so this one is up for debate, but we've put together a list of the top five worst weapons that are still in regular legal use, today. From downright nasty technology to devastating to local civilians, many of these weapons are in the process of being banned, or have had campaigns launched to outlaw them. Disagree? Let us know if there's something you think should be on the list. There's a couple of things we didn't include -- The first is chemical weapons, because *most* countries have now banned them and they are only very rarely used, and the second is 'dum dum' or hollow/soft point bullets. These particularly horrendous rounds open up and expand on impact, causing massive internal injuries and making removing the bullet very difficult to remove. Whilst police and civilians in some countries still use them, they are outlawed in warfare.

The following morning, no words are said and eye contact is avoided, but out of such a hateful union eventually comes the miracle of life, in the form of weaponry that harms and maims but stops very short of actually killing.

The Weapon of Mass Destruction - NatGeo TV

A weapon of mass destruction (WMD or WoMD) is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere. The scope and application of the term has evolved and been disputed, often signifying more politically than technically. Coined in reference to aerial bombing with chemical explosives, it has come to distinguish large-scale weaponry of other technologies, such as chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear. This differentiates the term from more technical ones such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons (CBRN).

Doctors for Disaster Preparedness21stAnnual Meeting Phoenix, AZ. July 2003 Dr. Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, authored 'Bioterrorism: How You CanSurvive', 'Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills' , 'Natural Strategies For Cancer Patients', 'Health and Nutrition Secrets that Can Save Your life', 'NuclearSunrise' and many other peer reviewed medical papers and textbooks on a number of topics.
Review by Del Meyer, MD
Bioterrorism: How you can survive is a privately published and timely work by Russell L Blaylock, MD, a neurosurgeon. It was published just after the biologic terrorism of October 2001 and gives a fresh presentation of facts as well as a hopeful perspective. The public in general does not see the terrorist network as a unified enemy, but rather as small groups of disgruntled, poorly educated impoverished bands of nutcases who can periodically cause nasty things to happen and are no real danger to the powerful West. The fact that terrorist organizations appear so dispersed and disjointed is not a weakness but a strength and makes the counterterrorist's job that much more difficult. Many terrorism experts have stated on television that biological agents are too difficult for the average terrorist to dispense. University medical specialists in infectious disease who were interviewed on television news had no expertise in weaponized biological agents and merely described naturally occurring disease. One even assured the audience that anthrax would not make a good terrorist weapon.
But Blaylock quotes Dr Michael Osterholm, author of LivingTerrors, who points out that there are numerous compact aerosol devices available in medical supply and hardware stores that efficiently dispense these biological weapons inexpensively. Even a simple humidifier was very efficient in dispersing test organisms over a wide area. The effectiveness of bioweapon killing power is illuminating by this comparison: In order to kill everyone in a square kilometer, conventional weapons would cost about $2,000, nuclear $800, nerve gas $600, and biological weapons $1. Research has determined that new and used crop dusting airplanes, which can spray both dry and wet materials, can be purchased over the internet with no questions asked. The buyer and seller never meet. As Major GeneralMarshallStubbs warned in 1986, an enemy with only ten aircraft with dry biological material such as anthrax or plague, could kill or incapacitate 70 million Americans.
Other bioweapons such as smallpox, plague and ten or more others which we are inexperienced to defend against are chosen by terrorists for that very reason. Vaccines are very specific and will not protect us against the large number of microorganisms that have been weaponized. Blaylock outlines the basic care we should follow in case of exposure bringing us back to America's frontiers of yesteryear. He also recommends use of nutritional supplements and dietary modifications to protect ourselves and our loved ones against bioterrorism as well as what we should keep in our emergency supply chest. In case of onset of actual disease, he outlines a program of maximizing normal body defenses.
Blaylock points out the pitfalls of much of what is stated by experts and the media. The terrorists not only want to kill us, but also destroy our economy. Just as the destruction of the world trade center killed 3,000 people, it also put over a million people out of work. Blaylock reminds us that terrorism is not an end in itself. Initially it was used to get the media's attention, make demands, change our foreign policy. Then the terrorists destroyed property and blew up airplanes, ships, marine barracks, and embassies. As the level of violence increased, the demands became fewer. Now they are seeking a world socialist government ruled by terrorist elite, under the guise of Islamic fundamentalism. As their writings and speeches proclaim, the new goal is the total destruction of the West, Christianity, and capitalism. Nothing less will be accepted.
Joseph D Douglass, Jr, PhD, coauthor of America the Vulnerable: The Threat of Chemical and Biological Warfare and CBW: The Poor Man's Atomic Bomb states in his introduction that Blaylock's book is the best on the problem of biological warfare he has read in over 30 years. He surmises that we have just seen the initial warning of terrorist attacks; escalation can come in almost any form.
If the limited attack through the mail system with three fatalities and forty-one infected can overwhelm the capabilities of our CDC to its breaking point according to its chief, what will happen in a real terrorist attack affecting thousands and millions? Blaylock's pamphlet is literally packed with information that every physician and every family should read and study before it's too late. It will depend on the information that's given in this book for us to survive.

An 23 April 2013 the New York Times reported that the British and French governments had sent a confidential letter to the United Nations Secretary General, claiming that there was evidence that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons in Aleppo, Homs, and perhaps Damascus. The United States did not acknowledge this claim at this time, which the New York Times article speculated was because President Obama had promised to intervene militarily if chemical weapon use was proven, and the United States would prefer not to be forced to enter the war right now. Israel also claimed that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons on 19 March near Aleppo and Damascus. By 25 April the U.S intelligence assessment was that the Assad regime had likely used chemical weapons -- specifically sarin gas. However, the White House announced that "much more" work had to be done to verify the intelligence assessments. Syria has refused an investigation team from the UN from entering Syria, though Jeffrey Feltman, UN under-secretary for political affairs, said on Wednesday that a refusal would not prevent an inquiry from being carried out.[52]
On 29 April, another chemical attack was reported, this time in Saraqib, in which 2 died and 13 were injured. The injured were taken to Turkey. On 5 May, Turkish doctors confirmed that no traces of sarin had been found in the blood samples of victims.[53] The same day, members of the United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria said it had 'gathered testimony -- indicating' rebels had used the nerve agent sarin in attacks. Commission member Carla del Ponte said that there were 'strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas', from the way the victims were treated". Del Ponte gave no details as to when or where sarin may have been used.[54] The Commission later clarified that it had no conclusive findings that any party has used chemical weapons.[55] A senior United States White House official, Jay Carney, cast doubt on the idea that rebels could use chemicals weapons, or even possess them. Carney also noted that Del Ponte does not work on the UN team leading the investigation. Carney went on to say "We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime. And that remains our position".[56]
It is believed the military research center, which Israel struck on 5 May, held chemical weapons.[57]
After clandestinely spending two months in Jobar, Damascus, several reporters for the French news media Le Monde personally witnessed the Syrian army's use of chemical weapons on civilians.[58][59]
A U.N. report stated that there are "reasonable grounds" to believe that limited amounts of chemical weapons have been used in at least four attacks in the civil war, but more evidence is needed to determine the exact chemical agents used or who was responsible. Stating that it has not been possible "to determine the precise chemical agents used, their delivery systems or the perpetrator."
On 21 August 2013, the area of Ghouta was the scene of an alleged Assad government chemical weapons attack that caused the deaths of hundreds to 1,400 people. The following day, a Syrian man who asked to remain anonymous described the horrific scene he witnessed near his home outside of Damascus. He said that the scene was proof of a chemical attack against the Syrian people by forces loyal to PresidentBashar al-Assad.

The Arthashastra is an ancient Indian 15-book manual on warfare and governance authored in the 3rd/4th century BCE by a Brahmin scholar named Chanakya. It was under his tuition that an ordinary boy, Chandragupta Maurya, became the first emperor of a united India. Chanakya’s text was published in English by Dr. Rudrapatnam Shamashastry in 1915. The text is a treasure-trove of almost-lost ancient knowledge with subjects covering, but not limited to: • spy classes and espionage • various battle formations • psychological warfare • fortification and siege fighting • battlefield magic with help of gods and demons • ancient biological and chemical weapons • basic and advanced assassination tactics • traditional “Hindu” weapons and armour • uses of Indian chariots, elephants, cavalry and infantry Chanakya's text, sheds light on ancient Indian army training, weapon typology, battle formations, strategy and so much more. This book has been written to promote awareness of many forgotten aspects of traditional Indian martial culture. Several books on the Arthashastra’s political aspects have been authored by scholars and researchers since Dr. Shamashastry introduced the text to the public in the early 1900’s. However, for the first time has a book focused solely on its martial aspects. Authored nearly 2,400 years ago; translated over 100 years ago; and now edited and illustrated with nearly 200 images, presented to you, the modern reader, is ancient Indian warfare according to the Arthashastra.

The text is a treasure-trove of almost-lost ancient knowledge with subjects covering, but not limited to: • spy classes and espionage • various battle formations • psychological warfare • fortification and siege fighting • battlefield magic with help of gods and demons • ancient biological and chemical weapons • basic and advanced assassination tactics • traditional “Hindu” weapons and armour • uses of Indian chariots, elephants, cavalry and infantry Chanakya's text, sheds light on ancient Indian army training, weapon typology, battle formations, strategy and so much more. This book has been written to promote awareness of many forgotten aspects of traditional Indian martial culture. Several books on the Arthashastra’s political aspects have been authored by scholars and researchers since Dr. Shamashastry introduced the text to the public in the early 1900’s. However, for the first time has a book focused solely on its martial aspects. Authored nearly 2,400 years ago; translated over 100 years ago; and now edited and illustrated with nearly 200 images, presented to you, the modern reader, is ancient Indian warfare according to the Arthashastra.

New Pathogen, "Disease X," Could Kill Millions; History Of US Biowarfare Experimentation

Disease X, according to the World Health Organization, is a unknown pathogen created by man to use a chemical weapon. A rogue nation, or terrorist group could unleash it. The US fits into both categories.

Biological warfare (BW)—also known as germ warfare—is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons", "biological threat agents", or "bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses, which are not universally considered "alive") that reproduce or replicate within their host victims. Entomological (insect) warfare is also considered a type of biological weapon. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and chemical warfare, which together with biological warfare make up NBC, the military acronym for nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare using weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). None of these are conventional weapons, which are deployed primarily for their explosive, kinetic, or incendiary potential.
Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some of the chemical weapons, biological weapons may also be useful as area denial weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal, and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism.
There is an overlap between biological warfare and chemical warfare, as the use of toxins produced by living organisms is considered under the provisions of both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Toxins and psychochemical weapons are often referred to as midspectrum agents. Unlike bioweapons, these midspectrum agents do not reproduce in their host and are typically characterized by shorter incubation periods.
The use of biological weapons is prohibited under customary international humanitarian law, as well as a variety of international treaties. The use of biological agents in armed conflict is a war crime...

In this age of terror, there might be nothing more terrifying than the thought of an attack carried out with chemical weapons. We’ve all heard the horrific stories of soldiers being gassed in WWI, and the idea that it could happen in the here and now is blood-chilling.
Perhaps scariest of all is that this isn’t just a possibility. There are chemical attacks happening in the present day, just as there have been across history. And while you’d probably assume you’d hear about a devastating gas attack, we’re willing to bet you’re unfamiliar with more than one of these.

The History of Chemical Weapons (720p)

This lecture explains the world history of chemical weapons dating from the Ancient Romans...

5 Things You Don’t Know: Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs)

Hosted by Benari Poulten, a Master Sergeant in the U.S. ArmyReserve and veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. In this episode, we reveal five intriguing facts about WMDs.
With the ability to create destruction on a massive scale, they are some of the most feared weapons in the world.
This is Five ThingsYou Don’t Know About WMDs.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact One: The phrase “weapons of mass destruction” is often used to refer to any nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological device capable of creating destruction on an immense scale. However, when the expression was first coined, it was actually used in reference to conventional bomber aircraft.
In May 1937, it was reported that German and Italian planes bombed the Spanish town of Guernica – killing more than 200 people in what was described as one of the first raids on a civilian population by a modern air force.
Fact Two: During the height of the arms race, the United States had more than 31,000 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. And with that many warheads, it’s almost inevitable that a few accidents, on in this case a few losses, would occur.
One unfortunate mishap took place in 1965 onboard the carrier USS Ticonderoga. On December 10th of that year, an A-4E Skyhawk carrying a B-43 hydrogen bomb was preparing for takeoff when the aircraft suddenly rolled off the flight deck and plunged into the ocean. Not only was the pilot killed, but the aircraft and the nuclear bomb immediately sank some 16,400 feet to the bottom of the ocean, where they remain to this day.
And while these incidents such as this may seem extreme, it is actually just one example of the 11 known nuclear weapons that the United States has accidently lost and never recovered.
Fact Three: During the First World War the introduction of modern chemical weapons, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was devastating. In fact, more than 25% of total US casualties suffered during the war were caused by poison gasses alone. So, when World War II erupted, all of the major combatants, except for Japan, opted to refrain from using chemical weapons on the battlefield.
However, when it came time to invade Iwo Jima, military planners recognized just how brutal and costly the battle was going to be. And in an effort to curtail the projected losses, they actually proposed saturating the island with mustard gas.
Of course, in the end this proposal was ultimately rejected by President Franklin Roosevelt, and a large-scale amphibious assault was conducted instead.
Fact Four: Classified as a Category A agent by the CDC, anthrax was first employed as a deliberate weapon during World War One, when the German military was suspected of secretly using the bacteria to infect livestock intended for trade with allied nations.
During World War II, the continued development of bioweapons such as anthrax spurred the creation of the United States Biological Weapons program. Established in the spring of 1943 under direct orders from President Franklin Roosevelt, the highly-classified program was a response to fears that the US lagged behind Nazi Germany in the creation of bioweapons.
Although none were ever deployed during the war, it is now know that the United States created more than 5,000 anthrax-filled bombs, and had them ready to go in preparation for a retaliatory strike against Germany.
Fact Five: America’s chemical weapons program began in 1917, during the latter part of World War I. And from then until 1968, the US produced nearly 40,000 tons of chemical weapons.
By the mid -1960s, however, public opposition to these types of weapons had caused the nation to start taking steps to reduce its stockpile.
So, between 1967 and 1970, as part of Operation CHASE – which stood for “cut holes and sink’em” – the US Department of Defense disposed of thousands of chemical weapons by loading them onto World War II era Liberty Ships and sinking them in the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. This included weapons such as mustard gas, VX nerve agent, and sarin-filled rockets.

Syrians get guide to chemical weapons preparation

International leaders have issued a strong warning to the Assad regime over the potential use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
The Syrian opposition recently provided instructions to residents anticipating that the regime would use chemical substances such as nerve or incendiary gases which are life threatening.
These gases are in a liquid state in the first stage and their characteristics resemble water or oil, which can be wiped or rinsed off with water, soap or sterilizers.
The liquid may evaporate into gas causing a greater risk to a person.
Actions required when a person is exposed to these gases:
FirstHold your breath as long as possible in order to escape to a place with fresh air.
Place a clean cloth covering the mouth and nose.
SecondNerve gases are heavier than air, therefore, it is recommended to ascend to the highest floor of a building. However, in case the chemicals were outside the building, all windows and doors should be shut immediately.
Third
Remove your clothes and wash your skin with soap and water or wipe with a piece of clean cloth.
Fourth
In case of eye irritation, wash them immediately with drinking water for no less than 15 minutes.
Fifth
It is highly recommended to wear gloves when helping an affected person.
SixthChemical substances are either odorless, or smell like garlic or pickled radish.
It is recommended to escape areas containing these odors to avoid exposure.
Symptoms and signs of chemical exposure are choking, coughing, blurred vision, faint and chills.

Chemical Weapons Destruction in Richmond, Kentucky

The BlueGrassChemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) team will use sophisticated systems, automated robots and tested procedures to safely dismantle and destroy chemical weapons near Richmond, Kentucky. The munitions, which include both rockets and projectiles, contain nerve or mustard agent and have been safely stored at the Blue Grass Army Depot for decades.
Watch this video for a step-by-step guide on how the main plant will use neutralization followed by supercritical water oxidation to break down the chemical agent. Please note, some design elements of the plant have been modified or enhanced since this video was produced.

Preparing to deal with the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons

Not all wars are fought with bombs and bullets. As the threat from chemical, biological and nuclear weapons rises, NATO has stepped up its efforts in providing specialised training to partner countries who are most at threat.
Under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, a selection of first responders and biological, chemical and nuclear specialists from NATO’s southern partner countries Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have undergone specialised training at the JointCBRNDefenceCentre of Excellence in Vyskov, Czech Republic.
The participants received training in preparing to respond to a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threat, learning advanced detection and decontamination methods.
At the end of the training, the participants were equipped with enough knowledge to enable them to train first responders in their own countries.

The Dawn of Chemical Warfare

This week Reactions takes a look into chemical warfare. There's a lot of science behind chemical weapons. April 22, 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the first large-scale use of chemical weapons in modern warfare. Some of the best minds in chemistry at that time, including a Nobel Prize winner, used their knowledge of science to build humanity’s new weapons of mass destruction. This week, we take a sobering look at the chemistry behind the modern world’s first chemical weapons.

This Is Where CHEMICAL Warfare Began

Please watch: "The 10 Hottest Sex Positions Ranked By YOU"
➨ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkRFntsbb8k
-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
The ancient world was also full of examples of David vs. Goliath battles. One of the bestRoman examples comes from the year 69 B.C. and the Battle of Tigranocerta. Historical estimates vary, but the Roman general, Lucullus, had around 40,000 troops in his engagement versus the ArmenianKing, Tigranes, who fielded about 400,000 troops.
The reason for this war against Armenia was the usual Roman mixture of bringing civilization to the barbarian hordes, a hunt for fortune and glory, as well as punishment for harboring Rome’s enemies. The city of Tigranocerta was still in the midst of being built when the Romans marched up knocking on the door. Lucullus brought his legions to the city and attempted to siege it. The city though unfinished was still heavily fortified, with walls that supposedly towered 25 meters high. Despite the use of siege weapons, the Romans were rebuffed by the city defenders who’s use of naphtha is one of the earliest forms of chemical warfare in history.
Meanwhile, King Tigranes who for the longest time could not believe that Lucullus was actually in Armenia, let alone sieging his newest city, marshaled a huge force to march on Tigranocerta and relieve the siege. The Romans saw the approaching hoard of death and leaving only a small force to maintain the cities siege, pulled back to a defensive position across the Batman-Su River. Lucullus feigned a retreat with a portion of his forces, but in a stroke of brilliance or insanity (depending on who you ask), personally led the Roman charge on the Armenian position atop a hill. His heavily trained infantry broke the Armenian cavalry and sowed chaos and confusion amongst their barely trained peasant infantry.
Having had their strongest point broken by Lucullus’s charge up the hill, the rest of the Armenian forces scattered and attempted to flee the battlefield. The Romans however were not in a mood to take prisoners or let their enemy escape. They outflanked the retreating Armenians and put them to the sword. While Roman accounts of only losing five men is completely unrealistic, one thing is for sure, the amount of losses both sides sustained was utterly disproportionate. Estimates for losses on the Armenian side vary from 10,000 to 100,000 men.
With King Tigranes in the wind and hiding from the Roman forces, the city of Tigranocerta opened its gates to its conquerors. Lucullus’ army began looting the city, and it was literally taken apart piece by piece.

What Weapons Are Illegal In War?

Share on Facebook: http://testu.be/1uEn2Oj
In war, some weapons are so dangerous that many countries are committed to banning them altogether. Yet these very weapons continue to be used in conflicts today, despite various treaties that prohibit them. So what weapons are illegal in war? And will these laws actually be upheld?

The Five Worst Weapons Still in Use - Truthloader

OK, so this one is up for debate, but we've put together a list of the top five worst weapons that are still in regular legal use, today. From downright nasty technology to devastating to local civilians, many of these weapons are in the process of being banned, or have had campaigns launched to outlaw them. Disagree? Let us know if there's something you think should be on the list. There's a couple of things we didn't include -- The first is chemical weapons, because *most* countries have now banned them and they are only very rarely used, and the second is 'dum dum' or hollow/soft point bullets. These particularly horrendous rounds open up and expand on impact, causing massive internal injuries and making removing the bullet very difficult to remove. Whilst police and civilians in some countries still use them, they are outlawed in warfare.

Top 10 NON-LETHAL Weapons

Non-lethal weapons are what you get when the ideas of “not-killing” and “wanting to shoot people in the face” get into yet another screaming match and end up totally doing it on the kitchen counter. The following morning, no words are said and eye contact is avoided, but out of such a hateful union eventually comes the miracle of life, in the form of weaponry that harms and maims but stops very short of actually killing.

The Weapon of Mass Destruction - NatGeo TV

A weapon of mass destruction (WMD or WoMD) is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere. The scope and application of the term has evolved and been disputed, often signifying more politically than technically. Coined in reference to aerial bombing with chemical explosives, it has come to distinguish large-scale weaponry of other technologies, such as chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear. This differentiates the term from more technical ones such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons (CBRN).

Doctors for Disaster Preparedness21stAnnual Meeting Phoenix, AZ. July 2003 Dr. Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, authored 'Bioterrorism: How You CanSurvive', 'Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills' , 'Natural Strategies For Cancer Patients', 'Health and Nutrition Secrets that Can Save Your life', 'NuclearSunrise' and many other peer reviewed medical papers and textbooks on a number of topics.
Review by Del Meyer, MD
Bioterrorism: How you can survive is a privately published and timely work by Russell L Blaylock, MD, a neurosurgeon. It was published just after the biologic terrorism of October 2001 and gives a fresh presentation of facts as well as a hopeful perspective. The public in general does not see the terrorist network as a unified enemy, but rather as small groups of disgruntled, poorly educated impoverished bands of nutcases who can periodically cause nasty things to happen and are no real danger to the powerful West. The fact that terrorist organizations appear so dispersed and disjointed is not a weakness but a strength and makes the counterterrorist's job that much more difficult. Many terrorism experts have stated on television that biological agents are too difficult for the average terrorist to dispense. University medical specialists in infectious disease who were interviewed on television news had no expertise in weaponized biological agents and merely described naturally occurring disease. One even assured the audience that anthrax would not make a good terrorist weapon.
But Blaylock quotes Dr Michael Osterholm, author of LivingTerrors, who points out that there are numerous compact aerosol devices available in medical supply and hardware stores that efficiently dispense these biological weapons inexpensively. Even a simple humidifier was very efficient in dispersing test organisms over a wide area. The effectiveness of bioweapon killing power is illuminating by this comparison: In order to kill everyone in a square kilometer, conventional weapons would cost about $2,000, nuclear $800, nerve gas $600, and biological weapons $1. Research has determined that new and used crop dusting airplanes, which can spray both dry and wet materials, can be purchased over the internet with no questions asked. The buyer and seller never meet. As Major GeneralMarshallStubbs warned in 1986, an enemy with only ten aircraft with dry biological material such as anthrax or plague, could kill or incapacitate 70 million Americans.
Other bioweapons such as smallpox, plague and ten or more others which we are inexperienced to defend against are chosen by terrorists for that very reason. Vaccines are very specific and will not protect us against the large number of microorganisms that have been weaponized. Blaylock outlines the basic care we should follow in case of exposure bringing us back to America's frontiers of yesteryear. He also recommends use of nutritional supplements and dietary modifications to protect ourselves and our loved ones against bioterrorism as well as what we should keep in our emergency supply chest. In case of onset of actual disease, he outlines a program of maximizing normal body defenses.
Blaylock points out the pitfalls of much of what is stated by experts and the media. The terrorists not only want to kill us, but also destroy our economy. Just as the destruction of the world trade center killed 3,000 people, it also put over a million people out of work. Blaylock reminds us that terrorism is not an end in itself. Initially it was used to get the media's attention, make demands, change our foreign policy. Then the terrorists destroyed property and blew up airplanes, ships, marine barracks, and embassies. As the level of violence increased, the demands became fewer. Now they are seeking a world socialist government ruled by terrorist elite, under the guise of Islamic fundamentalism. As their writings and speeches proclaim, the new goal is the total destruction of the West, Christianity, and capitalism. Nothing less will be accepted.
Joseph D Douglass, Jr, PhD, coauthor of America the Vulnerable: The Threat of Chemical and Biological Warfare and CBW: The Poor Man's Atomic Bomb states in his introduction that Blaylock's book is the best on the problem of biological warfare he has read in over 30 years. He surmises that we have just seen the initial warning of terrorist attacks; escalation can come in almost any form.
If the limited attack through the mail system with three fatalities and forty-one infected can overwhelm the capabilities of our CDC to its breaking point according to its chief, what will happen in a real terrorist attack affecting thousands and millions? Blaylock's pamphlet is literally packed with information that every physician and every family should read and study before it's too late. It will depend on the information that's given in this book for us to survive.

The Chemical Weapons Convoy: Arma 3 Vanilla ops

In light of recent events with the Middle East, here are some ops regarding chemical weapo...

Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria, Egypt, Middle East Peace, and Keystone Pipeline Review (2013)

An 23 April 2013 the New York Times reported that the British and French governments had sent a confidential letter to the United Nations Secretary General, claiming that there was evidence that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons in Aleppo, Homs, and perhaps Damascus. The United States did not acknowledge this claim at this time, which the New York Times article speculated was because President Obama had promised to intervene militarily if chemical weapon use was proven, and the United States would prefer not to be forced to enter the war right now. Israel also claimed that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons on 19 March near Aleppo and Damascus. By 25 April the U.S intelligence assessment was that the Assad regime had likely used chemical weapons -- specifically sarin gas. However, the White House announced that "much more" work had to be done to verify the intelligence assessments. Syria has refused an investigation team from the UN from entering Syria, though Jeffrey Feltman, UN under-secretary for political affairs, said on Wednesday that a refusal would not prevent an inquiry from being carried out.[52]
On 29 April, another chemical attack was reported, this time in Saraqib, in which 2 died and 13 were injured. The injured were taken to Turkey. On 5 May, Turkish doctors confirmed that no traces of sarin had been found in the blood samples of victims.[53] The same day, members of the United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria said it had 'gathered testimony -- indicating' rebels had used the nerve agent sarin in attacks. Commission member Carla del Ponte said that there were 'strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas', from the way the victims were treated". Del Ponte gave no details as to when or where sarin may have been used.[54] The Commission later clarified that it had no conclusive findings that any party has used chemical weapons.[55] A senior United States White House official, Jay Carney, cast doubt on the idea that rebels could use chemicals weapons, or even possess them. Carney also noted that Del Ponte does not work on the UN team leading the investigation. Carney went on to say "We find it highly likely that any chemical weapon use that has taken place in Syria was done by the Assad regime. And that remains our position".[56]
It is believed the military research center, which Israel struck on 5 May, held chemical weapons.[57]
After clandestinely spending two months in Jobar, Damascus, several reporters for the French news media Le Monde personally witnessed the Syrian army's use of chemical weapons on civilians.[58][59]
A U.N. report stated that there are "reasonable grounds" to believe that limited amounts of chemical weapons have been used in at least four attacks in the civil war, but more evidence is needed to determine the exact chemical agents used or who was responsible. Stating that it has not been possible "to determine the precise chemical agents used, their delivery systems or the perpetrator."
On 21 August 2013, the area of Ghouta was the scene of an alleged Assad government chemical weapons attack that caused the deaths of hundreds to 1,400 people. The following day, a Syrian man who asked to remain anonymous described the horrific scene he witnessed near his home outside of Damascus. He said that the scene was proof of a chemical attack against the Syrian people by forces loyal to PresidentBashar al-Assad.

"The Lost Warfare of India" - Harjit Singh Sagoo & Antony Cummins

https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Warfare-India-Illustrated-Guide/dp/1537272209/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480807266&sr=8-1&keywords=lost+warfare+of+india
The Arthashastra is an ancient Indian 15-book manual on warfare and governance authored in the 3rd/4th century BCE by a Brahmin scholar named Chanakya. It was under his tuition that an ordinary boy, Chandragupta Maurya, became the first emperor of a united India. Chanakya’s text was published in English by Dr. Rudrapatnam Shamashastry in 1915. The text is a treasure-trove of almost-lost ancient knowledge with subjects covering, but not limited to: • spy classes and espionage • various battle formations • psychological warfare • fortification and siege fighting • battlefield magic with help of gods and demons • ancient biological and chemical weapons • basic and advanced assassination tactics • traditional “Hindu” weapons and armour • uses of Indian chariots, elephants, cavalry and infantry Chanakya's text, sheds light on ancient Indian army training, weapon typology, battle formations, strategy and so much more. This book has been written to promote awareness of many forgotten aspects of traditional Indian martial culture. Several books on the Arthashastra’s political aspects have been authored by scholars and researchers since Dr. Shamashastry introduced the text to the public in the early 1900’s. However, for the first time has a book focused solely on its martial aspects. Authored nearly 2,400 years ago; translated over 100 years ago; and now edited and illustrated with nearly 200 images, presented to you, the modern reader, is ancient Indian warfare according to the Arthashastra.

Biological warfare (BW)—also known as germ warfare—is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons", "biological threat agents", or "bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses, which are not universally considered "alive") that reproduce or replicate within their host victims. Entomological (insect) warfare is also considered a type of biological weapon. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and chemical warfare, which together with biological warfare make up NBC, the military acronym for nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare using weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). None of these are conventional weapons, which are deployed primarily for their explosive, kinetic, or incendiary potential.
Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some of the chemical weapons, biological weapons may also be useful as area denial weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal, and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism.
There is an overlap between biological warfare and chemical warfare, as the use of toxins produced by living organisms is considered under the provisions of both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Toxins and psychochemical weapons are often referred to as midspectrum agents. Unlike bioweapons, these midspectrum agents do not reproduce in their host and are typically characterized by shorter incubation periods.
The use of biological weapons is prohibited under customary international humanitarian law, as well as a variety of international treaties. The use of biological agents in armed conflict is a war crime...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_warfare
Chemical warfare (CW) involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and biological warfare, which together make up NBC, the military acronym for nuclear, biological, and chemical (warfare or weapons), all of which are considered "weapons of mass destruction" (WMDs). None of these fall under the term conventional weapons which are primarily effective due to their destructive potential. With proper protective equipment, training, and decontamination measures, the primary effects of chemical weapons can be overcome. Many nations possess vast stockpiles of weaponized agents in preparation for wartime use. The threat and the perceived threat have become strategic tools in planning both measures and counter-measures.
The use of chemical weapons is prohibited under customary international humanitarian law...
